After Long Tian signed his name, he handed the Life and Death Pact Book to the Administrator. Once the Administrator verified it, he nodded to the two and said, "Alright, you can begin!"

Following the principle of striking first, Long Tian attacked the moment the Administrator finished speaking. In each of his hands, he materialized a Hammer-Head Divine Weapon and swung them fiercely at Wang Xiaoqiang.

The Soldier Aura howled and a fierce wind swept up. Even before the divine weapons arrived, the wind stung painfully against the face.

The power was immense, overbearing beyond compare.

Wang Xiaoqiang dared not neglect; he immediately summoned two Lightning Divine Weapons to defend himself.

With two booming sounds, the divine weapons of the two clashed, producing a deafening roar that shattered the air with intense sound waves!

"Second Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage... I'll crush you, die!" Long Tian's face twisted into a vicious grin, as a third hammer-headed magic treasure formed above his head, controlled by his will, crashing down toward Wang Xiaoqiang.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang released two layers of Golden Shells from his body, forming two protective shields, like two humanoid barriers, inside and outside.

Bang!!

The hammer-headed divine weapon crashed onto the Golden Shell, causing the first layer to cave in. As it struck the second Golden Shell, much of its strength was spent, unable to collapse the second shell, nor reach Wang Xiaoqiang's head.

"Huh? What's going on?"

A thick doubt flashed in Long Tian's eyes as he looked at the Golden Shells of Wang Xiaoqiang. Although he was the Dragon Child, with decades of cultivation, he had never bothered with Body Refinement and knew little about it. He had never encountered the Vajra Body before, and seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's body boasting two layers of cicada-like "Golden Shells" that defended against his third divine weapon left him confused and apprehensive.

"Am I seeing things? Vajra Body?!!" A student in the outer circle exclaimed, "And it's at the Third Layer!"

What? Vajra Body Third Layer!?

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, even the princes and Ann Miaoyi were visibly shaken. It was evident that this Body Refining Boundary had shocked them, and those who had been worried for Wang Xiaoqiang, like Ye Junqing and Tian Yunyi, were now filled with joy and excitement.

With Wang Xiaoqiang possessing the third layer of the Vajra Body Refining Cultivation, even if he couldn't defeat Long Tian, his life shouldn't be in danger.

"With 'Righteousness' as my guide!"

Long Tian had no time to be shocked by Wang Xiaoqiang's Vajra Body cultivation. He knew he couldn't give Wang Xiaoqiang a breathing space, it was crucial to seize the moment and strike him down, so he directly invoked his "Path of Righteousness" to attack.

Once the "Righteousness" character flashed out, it gleamed with golden light, crashing down towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

"'Courage' is fearless!!" Wang Xiaoqiang roared, launching the "Path of Courage," with the "Courage" character floating from his forehead, standing atop his head.

The next moment...

The "Righteousness" character and the "Courage" character collided, as they say, the Great Dao is formless, the Great Dao is silent, this confrontation of Dao against Dao didn't make a sound, but the exploding power seemed infinite.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang's Path of Courage wasn't as strong as Long Tian's Path of Righteousness, the "Courage" character wasn't as robust as the "Righteousness" character. However, the "Courage" character had a brave and undaunted momentum, a determination and will reminiscent of a no-retreat, total commitment attack, crashing mercilessly into the Righteousness character,

As they collided, a powerful shockwave erupted, dispersing the golden light, instantly shooting out in every direction. The golden light, though formless, seemed tangible, like countless sharp swords explosively shooting out.

The students observing quickly retreated to avoid it, but the two battling were caught unable to dodge. Long Tian's clothing was shredded by the golden light, explosively tearing open, his skin and flesh splitting with spurting blood.

Wang Xiaoqiang, being closest to the golden light, was bombarded by it like countless swords. Fortunately, the two layers of Golden Shells protected him, keeping the golden light outside, otherwise, he would have ended up with ripped skin and gushing blood.

The Power of Dao is indeed extraordinary!!

When the students further away dared to look again, they saw the Second Crown Prince, Long Tian, with his robe ripped open, his upper body bare, only shorts remaining on his lower half. His skin was not intact, a bleeding mess, as though a bloodied figure, extremely tattered in appearance.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang wasted no time. With a thought, he absorbed 30,000,000 Spiritual Springs into his body, his Spiritual Power surged drastically, and within an instant, he transformed from a Second Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage into a Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage. Then, a third lightning-shaped divine weapon materialized above his head, electric arcs flashing sharply on the divine weapon, crackling thunderously, incredibly powerful, and overwhelmingly irresistible.

Bang!

The Lightning Divine Weapon, like a shocking thunderbolt, struck Long Tian's chest with lightning speed before he could react, sending him flying. His once invincible body traced a parabolic curve in the air, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood.

Earlier, the countless golden rays had wounded him, but it was merely a surface wound. For a cultivator of Long Tian's level, it wasn't much of a hindrance, only making him appear more battered.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang's strike directly attacked with a divine weapon, hitting his chest. This strike constituted a grave injury, although not fatal, it left him powerless to continue fighting.

"What? Wang Xiaoqiang is actually at the Third Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage? How is that possible!"

"Did he achieve a breakthrough in the middle of battle? That's incredibly fast!"

"Wang Xiaoqiang won?!"

Amidst the surprised and questioning gazes and discussions of the crowd, Wang Xiaoqiang walked forwards, one step at a time, towards Long Tian, with the stride of a dragon and tiger.

Long Tian twisted on the ground like a worm, trying but unable to rise. With force, he coughed out two more mouthfuls of blood.

When Wang Xiaoqiang approached him, he placed his right foot on Long Tian and said with a playful smile, "Long Tian, Second Crown Prince, do you admit defeat now?"

Long Tian's face was filled with defeat and disappointment. At this point, he had no courage or temper left, weakly pleading, "Wang Xiaoqiang, spare, spare my life. I promise to repay you generously in the future!"

"Haha, you sure know how to adapt; now you're asking me to spare you," Wang Xiaoqiang sneered. "I want to spare you, but I can't do it for free, can I? Otherwise, I'd be at a loss!"

"Wang Xiaoqiang, I'll give you an extra hundred thousand gold coins. Think about it, with two hundred thousand gold coins, you can buy a lot of pills," Long Tian bargained.

"Hmm, can you keep your word?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"Of course," Long Tian replied.

"Good, then announce it to everyone and promise to give me another hundred thousand gold coins," Wang Xiaoqiang said, pulling Long Tian to his feet with one hand.

Long Tian's body jolted, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, splattering as he spoke, "To thank Wang Xiaoqiang for sparing my life, I promise to give Wang Xiaoqiang an additional hundred thousand gold coins."

"A gentleman's word is as binding as four horses could pull, " Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Everyone heard it clearly, Lord Long Tian promised to give me an additional hundred thousand gold coins."

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he loosened his grip, and Long Tian staggered backward, nearly collapsing, as several other princes quickly rushed forward to support him.

Wang Xiaoqiang walked over to his pile of pills, stretching out his hand. With a thought, the pills returned to his Sumeru Ring. Then, with a snake-like swallowing gesture, he formed an attractive force, drawing that one hundred thousand gold coins into his hand, and with another thought, he threw them into the Sumeru Ring.
